Amazon Basics 8-Pack Rechargeable AA NiMH High-Capacity Batteries, 2400 mAh, 1.2V, Recharge up to 400x Times, Pre-Charged

I’ve been genuinely impressed with Amazon Basics AA and AAA batteries. They deliver consistently strong, reliable power across everything I’ve used them in — from TV remotes and wireless keyboards to game controllers, smart home sensors, and kids’ toys. Performance has been comparable to far more expensive branded batteries, with no noticeable drop-off in power or premature failures. What really stands out is their reliability over time. They hold charge well in low-drain devices, don’t leak, and feel dependable even when left installed for months. For everyday household use, they simply work exactly as you’d expect a good battery to work — no fuss, no surprises. The value proposition is exceptional. You get dependable performance at a price that makes sense, especially if you go through batteries regularly. They’re ideal for bulk buying without feeling like you’re compromising on quality. Overall, these are batteries you can buy with confidence. Practical, reliable, and excellent value — Amazon Basics AA and AAA batteries have become my default choice and I see no reason to switch back to more expensive alternatives.

I decided to switch properly to rechargeable batteries after realising how many disposables we were getting through every year. Between Xbox controllers, remotes, wireless mouse, children’s toys and the odd torch during power cuts, it was adding up. I went for this 12-pack of Amazon Basics 2400 mAh AAs because the price per battery was very reasonable, especially compared to big-name brands. The fact they arrive pre-charged is genuinely useful. I was able to put them straight into a controller and a bedside lamp without waiting around for a full charge first. That convenience makes a difference. In terms of compatibility, they’ve worked perfectly in everything I’ve tried — standard AA sizing means they slot straight into controllers, torches, fairy lights, clocks and cameras without any fitting issues. They sit snugly in the battery compartments and make proper contact first time. Performance has been consistently strong. In higher-drain devices like game controllers and LED torches, they hold up well. Brightness in torches and battery-powered lights has been steady and comparable to good disposable batteries — no dim, weak glow or early fade. Even as they start to run lower, the power output feels stable rather than dropping off suddenly. The 2400 mAh capacity is noticeable. They last longer than older rechargeables I’ve owned, especially in devices that get regular use. They also hold charge well when sitting unused. I’ve had a few stored for a couple of weeks and they still had plenty of power left. As for weight, they feel solid but not overly heavy. In hand they have that reassuring density you’d expect from a decent rechargeable battery, but they don’t make controllers or smaller devices feel bulky or unbalanced. Long term, the value is where these really make sense. Being able to recharge them hundreds of times will easily outweigh the initial cost, and it’s far better than constantly throwing away single-use batteries. Overall, reliable, widely compatible, steady brightness output and excellent value for money. These have become my default choice and I wouldn’t go back to disposables now.

The Amazon Basics 16 Pack Rechargeable AA NiMH High Capacity Batteries, 2400 mAh, have been a dependable choice for us so far. In terms of performance, they have done exactly what we need them to do. They arrived pre charged, charged up again without issue, and have successfully held their charge through repeated use. We have recharged them many times, and they continue to perform consistently. For everyday household devices like remotes, wireless accessories, and small electronics, they have been reliable and durable. Compared to many other well known brands, the pricing is better. Right now, this set works out to roughly 1 € per battery, which is not unreasonable for 2400 mAh rechargeables. I still feel they sit about 15 to 20 percent higher than they ideally should. Sustainable products often appeal to people who care about reducing waste, though the upfront cost can be a real barrier for many households. More competitive pricing would make it easier for families to justify switching from disposable batteries, even if the long term savings are clear. Build quality feels solid, and we have not experienced early failures or noticeable degradation beyond what you would normally expect over time. The 2400 mAh capacity is strong for higher drain devices, and they have handled regular use well. Overall, these are dependable rechargeable batteries that perform as advertised. With slightly sharper pricing, they would be an even stronger value. As it stands, I would still buy them again if needed.

These Amazon Basics rechargeable AA batteries are excellent. I’ve ordered them multiple times now, and they’ve been consistently reliable every time. The 2400 mAh capacity lasts a long time, whether I’m using them in controllers, toys, cameras, or household devices, and they hold their charge well between uses. They recharge quickly, perform just as well as more expensive brands, and have saved me a lot of money over time. I also appreciate the convenience of the 16-pack — it’s great to always have spares ready to go. Overall, these are dependable, high-quality rechargeable batteries at a great price. I’ll definitely continue reordering them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for long-lasting rechargeables.

Batteries. Value for money

Considering the price these are very good. Our little boy has a huge collection of battery powered toys and it soon became apparent once he grew out of playing with random household items that batteries would be very expensive, and you need LOTS of them to put in all his cars, trains, dinosaurs (It seems very few toys don't have batteries and relatives don't consider this burden when buying toys!) So, I have been regularly buying packs of these for a couple of years now, I think it is fair to say they aren't "fully" charged when new, but do have enough charge to use right away if you have an impatiend kid waiting to fire up a toy.... ...I just top up the charge as soon as they arrive, and have enough so there are always a few AA / AAA charged and ready to go in the "man draw" at any time. I think they do lose charge whilst sat, but not that quickly. I suspect they more than pay for themselves over time, and even more quickly when you have kids forgetting to turn things off, which when you are buying normal batteries is very annoying to have a premium copper topped battery drained overnight.

I have a wiser home system where every radiator TRV is individually programmable by app. Excellent product, saving many £££'s on heating. They each individually monitor room temperature and if it drops below the setting allocated, open the valve via a small motor. I could go on about the schedules etc.... this is not a Wiser product review. The thing is each of the 12 units takes two AA's. A "Normal" AA lasts about a year before needing to be replaced. However, wanting to ramp up the eco benefit I did a lot of research and finally landed on this Amazon rechargeable. I'm very disappointed that a fully charged set registers only 20%-40% when put in the device and then needs changing in about a month. The hassle of regular change and seeing the red blinking lights around the house is very triggering. Additionally, leaving the house empty in winter for weeks is now an excessive stress. I guess the 1.2v rating is just not good enough for these devices expecting 1.5v. I'm sure these rechargeable batteries are good for other purposes, but not this purpose. As a result, I'm having to buy a large pack of disposables to rectify the matter. Lesson learned, money wasted due to length of time from purchase. Very disappointed.

If you have kids, you know the struggle of constantly hunting for fresh batteries. I switched to these, and honestly, they’ve been a total game-changer. They hold a charge for a surprisingly long time, which is essential for those loud, light-up toys that seem to drain power just by looking at them. I actually pair these with my Duracell recharger, and they work perfectly togethe no issues with fit or charging speeds at all. It’s super handy to always have a rotated batch ready to go. Highly recommend for any parent

Bonne qualité. Conserve sa charge.

Amazon Basics AA Rechargeable Batteries (2400 mAh) – Real Capacity Test Results I ran a full analysis cycle on 8 cells using an ISDT N8-series smart charger at a 0.5A charge/discharge rate. Unfortunately 4 of the 12 cells were accidentally thrown out with the broken toy they were in so I couldn’t test those. Here are the actual measured results after initial break-in and a few months of normal use in kids toys and various gadgets: Capacity Results (mAh): - 3001 - 2687 - 3001 - 2658 - 2639 - 2625 - 2649 - 2698 Average Capacity: 2700 mAh Rated Capacity: 2400 mAh Internal Resistance (mΩ): - Range: 124 mΩ – 200 mΩ Key Takeaways: • All 8 cells tested at or above their rated 2400 mAh capacity • Two cells measured around 3000 mAh, which is significantly above spec (likely inflated slightly by the lower 0.5A test rate, but still impressive) • Most cells clustered tightly between 2625–2700 mAh, showing good consistency • Internal resistance varied from 124–200 mΩ, which is decent but not premium-tier low What this means for real-world use: These are solid mid-to-high performance NiMH cells: - Great for moderate to high-drain devices (controllers, cameras, etc.) - Not quite as consistent as premium Japanese made brands, but very close considering the price - One higher-resistance cell (~200 mΩ) may perform slightly worse under heavy load and prematurely wear out. Lower resistance means less voltage sag under heavy load. Pros: - Exceeds rated capacity across the board - Good consistency between most cells - Good value for the price Cons: - Internal resistance spread is noticeable - Not all cells are perfectly matched for High-drain use Final Verdict: 4.5 / 5 (Rated five stars because you can’t give a half star rating, close enough however): For the price, these perform above expectations. If you’re willing to match cells based on performance (capacity + internal resistance), you can get excellent results comparable to more expensive brands. Testing Note: Results were obtained using a 0.5A analysis cycle, which can slightly inflate capacity readings compared to higher-drain real-world use. Not an appreciable difference however in actual usage. Testing Equipment - ISDT N8 Series Smart Charger Please note: Don’t be disappointed if brand new cells don’t meet their rated capacity out of the box. NimH rechargeable batteries have a break-in period when new. This is usually 3-5 full charge/discharge cycles (for premium Japanese-made cells around 2 charge/discharge cycles). A good smart charger can do this for you. It can take several hours or they will break-in themselves over time with normal usage but their performance will increase after break-in.

Great product at a descent price. Hold their charge well. Tight squeeze in some products

LEDヘッドライトの電池に使用 乾電池を買うより安いので重宝しています

A good bit of time has passed to evaluate these batteries in my ROKU 3 (also purchased on Amazon). In the past, I've noted with alkaline batteries in the ROKU that one battery ALWAYS depletes before the other, usually by 1/4 volt. Having seen that issue several times, usually having had to replace only one of the two batteries, I'm concluding the ROKU remote keeps is continuously connected to the ROKU as long as the ROKU is turned on. This would explain why one battery frequently requires replacing. I have noted this phenomenon with two different ROKU remotes. I don't know who makes these batteries but they are very high quality. Also noted is they are about 25% heavier than the Everedy rechargeables at your local retailer. My weight scale is not digital but is still good enough to discern a difference in marking. These batteries (yes I can test voltage) seem to have significant density and hold a charge quite well for an extended period of time. The discharge time for batteries (battery) in the ROKU is over two months. Also, if I remember correctly, a fresh charge will loose only about 40% of it's charge over the course of a year. Battery technology is constantly changing (see batteryuniversity.com for a true education). To that end, these batteries far surpass the junk sold in retail stores. I've not found a 2400 mAh NiMh anywhere at the price point offered by Amazon. Also, please be advised that most rechargeable batteries do NOT (performance-based) match up to their mAh rating. So I'm not sure how these little guys rate, but I can say ... for the price point they outperform the smaller charge-capacity types found in the average retail establishment selling 1400 to 2300 (rare) rechargeables. In my opinion, they are almost worthless as they need constant recharging. These batteries are new-generation batteries and users will appreciate having them. A couple of additional notes: new generation NiMh rechargeables should not be fully discharged or anywhere close to that. The battery lifetime cycle can be extended greatly by recharging only after about half-use; there is no battery memory problem. The newer NiMh batteries are more subject to "stress" so deep discharge shortens their life. Same for cell phones .. don't deep discharge the battery. The battery lasts longer if you recharge after one or two bars. So anyway, these are really good rechargeables at the price point. I can't imagine better unless you want to put 8 or 10 hours into customer reviews and scouring best prices. Better to go for Kentucky Fried Chicken and a half bottle of Chardonnay with your wife out by the stream on a soft Autumn afternoon. Yes? And don't forget the music powered by the batteries that don't fail, even if you forgot to recharge them. :-)
